and concerns of the voluntary sector.

This year WCVA undertook a consultation exercise throughout Wales with voluntary organisations who wished to provide services under the new community care arrangements. These meetings identified the absence of clear imple-mentation strategies as a major weakness in the existing plans and considered that little was likely to change until:

O Welsh Office gives a clearer lead on what is meant by

stimulating a mixed economy of care and the level of

resources available.

O Local authorities adopt 'enabling' policies, and decide how budgets will be divided and purchasers split from providers.

O Local authorities develop their purchasing skills and
